So, nothing special in recording a bootable cd. Hmm, then why can't i boot it ? the ISO is definitely bootable. I have `enablecdboot' in yaboot.conf, and select that while booting, it seems to try to boot from cd-rom, but falls back to the menu after a while. My linux kernel is 2.6.9. by the way, i installed the base system using this ISO: http://penguinppc.org/~eb/files/boot-new-powermac-xfs.iso which recognized hda as hdc, see this: # fdisk -l /dev/hdc /dev/hdc # type name length base ( size ) system /dev/hdc1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map /dev/hdc2 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 1600 @ 64 (800.0k) NewWorld bootblock /dev/hdc3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 260544 @ 1664 (127.2M) Linux swap /dev/hdc4 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root 12311320 @ 262208 ( 5.9G) Linux native /dev/hdc5 Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Untitled_6 14180272 @ 12573528 ( 6.8G) HFS /dev/hdc6 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 source 31851320 @ 26753800 ( 15.2G) Linux native Block size=512, Number of Blocks=58605120 DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0 -- William -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
